Player Who Became a Constellation – Episode 160

Episode 160

Sharin was about to approach them.

“Princess Krone!”

Sharin turned her head.

In the direction she turned, she saw female cadets.

They were all wearing academy uniforms in the form of sacred robes.

They were cadets belonging to the Holy Order.

Sharin felt relieved to see them.

Perhaps they were thinking of forming a party with her?

That would be fortunate.

However, a different answer came out than Sharin expected.

“Hand over all the supplies you have.”

“…”

Sharin’s gaze turned to the female cadets behind her.

There, she saw other cadets trembling, having had their supplies taken away.

Some of them eventually declared their surrender.

Sharin turned her gaze and looked at Cancun, who was supervising.

She only stared with an indifferent face and did not intervene in this situation.

‘From now on, form parties of three and act as a team. Consider everyone other than your team as competitors, as enemies.’

‘Fill any 부족한 물자 [deficient supplies] 알아서 채우시길…. We will not interfere.’

“Aha!”

Was that the reason why she said those words?

It must be to take and use things from those other than her team.

‘As expected, the training methods of the Nords are different.’

To think that they have to plunder each other to replenish supplies.

“I don’t want to? Rather…”

Sharin raised her head.

She pointed to the luggage bags they had with her finger and smiled.

“I’ll take what you have. It’s an order. Bring it when I say it nicely.”

The faces of the female cadets contorted.

After a while….

The Nord, Loki, who was in front of the bonfire, raised his head.

A woman was standing in front of him.

Her disheveled hair and face were flushed red as if she had been beaten, and blood was flowing from her lips.

She was holding four luggage bags in her hands.

She said to him and the clergyman next to him with a confident face.

“Do you want to team up? I have quite a lot of supplies. I’ll share them with you.”

“…I will.”

Sharin smiled.

“Thank you. I’ll warm myself up a bit.”

At Sharin’s words, the Nord nodded indifferently without even looking at her.

“What about you?”

Sharin turned her head and asked the clergyman for his consent.

Of course, she was planning to ignore him and warm herself up even if he refused.

“Damn it, it’s Princess Krone. Is it you again?”

“Why? Are you dissatisfied? I saved you from the angel, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that debt?”

The clergyman clicked his tongue and avoided her gaze.

“Do as you please.”

Perhaps because of the debt he owed her for saving his life, he didn’t treat her coldly.

Sharin and the clergyman jostled to Loki’s left and right.

Loki was quietly staring at the bonfire when he felt a sense of weight behind his back.

Sharin and the clergyman stopped in surprise and looked at the person behind Loki.

“What is it.”

At Loki’s words, the person who had his back to his smiled bashfully.

“Ah, I’m just trying to endure the cold!”

It was Cancun.

She smiled brightly and tilted her head.

“Do you dislike it?”

“Do as you please.”

Cancun nodded and leaned her back against Loki’s.

The night passes.

“…Damn it, I can’t take it anymore!”

“I’m going to freeze to death!”

In the end, the female cadets who had picked a fight with Sharin and had their supplies taken away declared their surrender.

***

“…”

The dropouts.

The cadets who received supplies and left the ranks gritted their teeth.

The cold and hunger, and the darkness of the night gnawed at their hearts, and they eventually declared their surrender.

After covering themselves with warm fur and blankets and drinking soup, the female cadets were filled with regret.

They had missed the opportunity to receive the blessing of divinity.

They were going down the mountainous area with desperate expressions.

“…Will we not be able to receive divinity?”

“Huh, huh! What’s so great about that! There’s no point in flattering these cult groups to receive blessings!”

The female cadets belonging to the Holy Order complained.

If only that Krone princess hadn’t taken their supplies, they would have been able to endure this cold!

“In the first place, the reason why our Holy Nation fell was because of this Asgard. No matter how much I was sold for the sake of my family… to have to serve in the military for an enemy country… that’s… a bit… isn’t it…?”

They began to sob in sorrow as they vented their dissatisfaction.

“But… where are we supposed to go down?”

Nord warriors were stationed in the middle to guide them, but.

When they came down from the mountain to some extent, not a single Nord soldier could be seen.

The female cadets became anxious.

They wondered if they would get lost and stranded.

“Hey! It’s here. It’s here!”

At that time, a torch was seen in the nearby forest.

“Ah, I think it’s over there!”

The female cadets headed towards the torch.

They walked, and soon arrived at the place where the man was waving the torch.

They had no choice but to freeze upon confirming the person in front of them.

“Welcome. Lost lambs!”

Men wearing black sacred robes.

Around them, the Nord warrior who was supposed to guide them was dead.

The female cadets were terrified.

They knew very well who these people were.

Those who had been corrupted by greed and betrayed the teachings of Azelan.

“For a moment, there’s something we want you to help with.”

Heretics.

They were the Black Inquisitors.

***

Torsen from Astoria Island.

He was in charge of patrolling the ocean around the island on a warship.

‘Brother, I’ve become a member of the Berserkers!’

He remembered his younger sister, Karen, who was a cat beastkin, who was happy to wear a lion helmet when she heard the news that she had become a member of the Berserker Warrior Corps.

Asgard had been fostering an army to subjugate angels for generations, and Karen had applied for it and became a member of the Berserker Warrior Corps to which Kudan belonged.

At that time, Torsen also tried to apply, but unfortunately, he was rejected.

‘We need a navy. Torsen, you are perfect for the job.’

Instead, under Loki’s command, Torsen took on the heavy task of being the commander-in-chief of the navy.

In a way, he had risen to a considerable position of power.

‘Well, it’s not bad.’

Thanks to that, didn’t he achieve the feat of hunting the constellation of the sea?

His father on Astoria Island would be very happy to hear that news.

Ding-! Ding-!

Torsen turned his head on the deck of the warship.

On the frozen island’s coast, Nord warriors were ringing bells in their hands and waving flags.

It was a signal to announce when they had discovered something.

The warship reached the coast, and Torsen lowered the ladder and came down to the coast.

Splash!

A sound of water was heard, and he landed on the beach where ice was floating around.

Torsen moved his legs.

When he reached the coast, the Nord warriors bowed to him.

“What’s going on?”

“…There are traces of intruders.”

“Intruder? Good heavens! Are you saying we missed something?”

After the plague terror in Asgard, Asgard strengthened security in the sea area.

However, it was impossible to monitor everything.

There were bound to be those who would break through the gaps.

It was Torsen who caught those people.

He was sure that there would be no intruders near the coast where he was.

‘Are you saying there’s a place I missed!’

“Did they invade by ship?”

At Torsen’s question, the Nord warriors shook their heads with troubled expressions.

“That’s… I don’t think so.”

“…?”

The Nord warriors’ gazes turned from the coast to the forest.

There, footprints were imprinted.

They had clearly tried to erase them, but it seemed that they had not been completely erased by the darkness of the night.

“We don’t see a ship. However, judging from the traces from the coast to the forest…”

“…?”

“It seems they infiltrated by diving.”

***

Thump…, thump….

The Black Inquisitors caught their breath.

Their whole bodies were as heavy as water-soaked sponges because of their wet clothes and armor.

But, they succeeded!

They had safely reached this island where the demon-worshiping group that worships this devil is located!

“…If it weren’t for the Worm Fest [a plague that grants immortality], we would have drowned.”

No, in fact, their hearts stopped several times in the water.

But this plague of death made their stopped hearts beat again and again.

“From now on, we will begin the mission of His Holiness the Pope.”

This proof of immortality created by His Holiness the Pope is being called a demonic plague or evidence of corruption on the continent.

Thanks to this, arrest warrants have been issued for the Pope and the Black Inquisitors.

‘…Dare to issue an arrest warrant to His Holiness the Pope?’

This was blasphemy.

The humans of the continent are all corrupted.

‘So we must purify them all.’

So they plan to kidnap them and perform a purification ceremony on them.

After the purification ceremony, if they come to their senses and worship the Pope, they will be injected with the Worm Fest and made into apostles of God.

Those who became immortal kidnapped others, brainwashed them, and made them immortal again, expanding their religious power.

Now that they don’t have to worry about being noticed, they were planning to infect their followers with the Worm Fest and make them immortal.

Unlike in the past, when only the chosen ones became immortal, now even if they become followers, they can receive that grace.

How merciful is His Holiness the Pope!

“Hoo…. Hoo….”

The Black Inquisitors caught their breath and walked through the forest, and in the distance, they saw a huge fortress wall.

Fortress-like barriers and a small citadel beyond them.

It was Valhalla Academy.

It was Asgard’s main military training facility and also where the nobles of the continent stayed.

“When did you start worshiping us, and now you’re fascinated by cults and worshiping them? They need retraining.”

The Black Inquisitors stared blankly at Valhalla Academy and became enraged.

“There are three things we have to do. One of them is-”

The Black Inquisitors pulled out weapons from their chests.

And put them in their mouths.

‘Burn this place down.’

They started running.

They put their hands on the floor and ran on all fours.

Like beasts, they nimbly climbed up the fortress wall.

“Huh?”

A Nord warrior stopped and raised his head.

The Black Inquisitors who climbed the fortress wall.

With the moonlight on their backs, they flew towards the Nord warriors with swords in their mouths.

***

“…There’s a problem. Goddess.”

Cancun, who was humming with her back against Loki’s, looked at the approaching Nord warrior.

Cancun’s gaze naturally turned to the back of the Nord warrior who had spoken to her.

Behind the Nord warrior, a female cadet was standing with a frightened expression.

She was a dropout who had been robbed of her supplies by Sharin.

“Yes? A problem, you say?”

“Yes, that’s…”

The Nord warrior looked at the three people around Cancun.

Sharin and the clergyman were asleep.

However, one Nord was sitting up fine.

“It’s okay. This person can hear it.”

At Cancun’s words, the Nord warrior nodded and then opened his mouth.

“The Black Inquisitors have attacked the female cadets.”

“…”

“Also, it seems they have attacked Valhalla Academy. Fire has risen from that side. Skilled warriors are guarding the barrier, so it doesn’t seem like there will be a problem, but…”

He reported to Cancun in preparation for the worst.

It was unknown whether they had simply attacked the academy or whether they would show deception like last time and directly attack the capital.

“…We will stop the training here.”

Having said that, Cancun was perplexed.

She hesitated about what to do with these remaining cadets.

Whether to leave them here as they were or take them to Valhalla Academy, which was like a battlefield.

‘It’s dangerous to face the Black Inquisitors, who are close to immortal, without any equipment.’

As Cancun hesitated, Loki stirred the bonfire with a branch and said.

“Let’s go.”

“…”

“I’ll take care of things here.”

“I understand.”

Cancun said without hesitation.

What she was in charge of was guarding the capital.

If there were intruders in Asgard, she had to check the capital first.

‘…Did you notice that it was me?’

Loki realized that Cancun knew his identity from her attitude.

‘But how did you know?’

The raven clothes that Urgart had added skills to were perfect.

It could perfectly change its appearance without any trace.

‘Is it because of my voice? Or…’

Did you just find out instinctively?

Such doubts arose.

Sharin opened her eyes at the sound of Loki and Cancun’s voices.

Sharin woke up with a dazed face and tilted her head.

“Please take good care of the security.”

Cancun nodded to Loki and left the spot.

Sharin, who had woken up in the meantime, had a surprised expression and rested her chin on her hand.

She fell into thought.
